Role of the Judiciary in Government By the People
In a "nation of laws" the Judiciary stands as the
"soul" of the political organism.
Like "the Queen's virtue," it is not enough that the Court
System be merely above reproach - it must be above question. The Executive Branch
undisputably stands as the supreme national authority, but without a national judiciary to
monitor, weigh and dispense justice even-handedly, between rich and poor, the weak and the
powerful, the entire political structure becomes nothing more than a perverse mechanism
for dispensing favoritism, inequity and corruption.
National freedom cannot exist without national justice.
The Court System stands as the indispensable balance-scale for weighing
individual rights and obligations, and calibrating federal powers and responsibilities.
Only an independent, unfettered, and constantly attentive Judiciary,
zealously protecting the nation's citizens against unreasonable encroachments of
government, and against private invasion of inherent rights and statutory entitlements,
can maintain a climate in which freedom can exist and thrive
The nation's lawgivers and Court judges are the prime guardians of
national morality. Fairness and equity must be their only points of reference in
faithfully discharging their crucial mandate. This, because, when the citizens lose
confidence in their courts,
the entire political structure is dangerously loosened from its fundamental foundation.
Chaos will follow, as certainly as night follows day.

About this Site Category
Materials in this Contributors Section are to be viewed as generic and
advisory, rather than definitive and specific in the treatment
of their topics. Legal advice must be tailored to the precise situations and
objectives of the client. If you need legal advice, you quite probably need a lawyer
to advise you and handle the preparation, filing and interpretation of the instruments by
which legal activities are properly conducted. The greatest value of a lawyer is in
facilitating and avoiding problems in conducting business. Correcting problems after
the fact is invariably more difficult and therefore requires more time, and is more
expensive.
The articles in this Section are offered as general guidance; not as
substitutes for legal counsel. If you refer to them as broad guidelines, they will
serve you well. If you try to use them as legal instructions, valid and applicable
in all situations, you will be exceeding the intentions of the experts who have prepared
them, as well as going far beyond the intention of the Site Editor-in-chief.
